This was the more consistent side last year with strong receivers returning

Karla Gade

We seem to have more experience and explosive players on offense and I am looking forward to seeing what Mike Riley and Danny Langsdorf do with the talent.

Roger Noonan

Tommy Armstrong with the help of his wr's (best group in big ten) will win alott of games for nebraska this year late in the season when they need them most.

Danny Baker

More weapons on offense. Too many questions on defense.

Steve Feye

While it might not be dynamic, there is good talent and depth at receiver and more opportunity with the O-line than most give credit. The key will be quarterbacking, where i predict Darlington will overtake Armstrong at some point, and adaptability of the coaching staff to match talent with strate

Bill Miranda

3 year starter at QB.

Terry M Young

Experienced QB MIKE R DANNY L

Andy Fields

you suck

Damian Holmes

The defensive staff is less proven, personnel question marks at DE and depth issues at LB.

Mas Shara

Although the talent is good enough on the DL, we're thin at LB. Also, not sure about banker or at least more sure of MR & DL at least for now. We'll see, I am hoping that the days of Wisconsin blow-outs are a thing of the past

Because Tommy Armstrong does not play on the defence.

Kevin Hamilton

Players can play now, should be a big improvement!

Robert Lloyd

Going back to fundamental defense and getting rid of the complex garbage of Pelini. Big difference.

Ronald D. Bull

the defense will be more aggressive and attacking and different from the past which was less aggressive.

Isaiah Skrdla

I think that the simplified scheme will make the defense better early. The first string looks very talented. The lack of depth at some positions could hurt the d late however. Staying healthy will be important. A pro-style offense takes several years to perfect so I think there will be growing pains

Nebraska football generates and insane amount of tax dollars for the state of Nebraska, I would think the state would want to help maintain that cash flow.

Claude Michel

One must think about the revenues that a husker football games bring into the city of Lincoln. Only makes sense that they would help keep the facilities tip-top. CLaude

Thomas Wright

What PJ said !! Whatever it takes to keep big red rolling !! GO BIG RED !!

Chris Thackray

I think it's safe t say the the majority of households in Nebraska support the Football program. Spread equally across the state, I can't imagine that the needed/wanted taxes per household would be that much. I could be wrong. I haven't researched it.

PJ SAid

do people realize how much money football games bring to Lincoln ... no brainer, a great long-term investment for Lincoln and the State of Nebraska !

Seth Hyberger

The building is an economic power house for the state.

Why not. Money gets spent in a lot worser ways.

Michael Graham

Worser? You must be a UNL grad.

Scott Dreas

Do like other cities do and charge a tax on hotels and car rentals and let the visitors pay the tax to fund the stadium projects

Rappmaster Dugg

Because I live in Arizona.

Bob Cantin

Huh?

Sid Desai

Modern Monetary Policy. Initiative is already approved and people are paid. Our tax.money won't pay either way, unless you want to wait another 100 years.

Revenue by athletic dept should pay for it. First of all, I dont approve of the south end zone change, eliminating seating for the common folk.

Devin Salisbury

The football program is always bragging about how much they bring in. Why should any non fan have to support them?

Our taxes are too high already and it is because they pay for more than just essential services. Like football stadiums.

The Athletic Department turns a huge profit every year. They charge an insane amount of money to see a terrible product on the field. The egos/decisions of administration has already taken enough from the average person. They don't deserve a dime

Chuck Mix

We are overtaxed already. I love NU football, but if it can't pay for itself with current state support to the university, then it shouldn't be so big. We are blessed to have the support for the university football team, leave it to the folks.

Jerry Hedden

dont need to use state moneys for this

Larry Smith

With ever more dismal seasons I would guess that filling the stadium would be a problem. Nebraska fans are great, but there is only an indefinite time before they lose interest with dismal season results.

Michael Graham

How about fix some roads instead.

Robert Lloyd

Absolutely not. This is NOT what our Founding Fathers had in mind, not that they are not turning in their graves with this socialist mess we've gotten ourselves into. I don't play football, I don't/can't go to the games and so this is taxation without representation.

Scott Mateer

The collected taxes should be used to invest in the state of Nebraska's college students to reduce tuition and fees, improve rural health care, and/or invest in things like expanding renewable energy sources. Let the boosters and fans pay for the renovations and upgrades.

Robert Lloyd

Those things you mentioned are NOT what taxes were meant for.

Scott Mateer

Laird Watkins

The University and it's Mega-donors are not in a state of poverty. When the legislature is in attack mode on taxation, let us be prudent.

lawrence versaw

They rake in tons money pay for it yourself

Dan Stephens

That's what the donors are for.

Regan Zeller

There is plenty of private money to take care of this. Just let them name a restroom after a large donor.

Alan Montanye

They sale out every game. They have money. We are taxed to much already. And the price of living is ridiculous.

I believe

Chris Monaco

all 6 teams left on the schedule are beatable.

Gene Eubanks

All of the remaining games are winnable, so I think for sure we can win two of them!

Carter Eveland

if nebraska plays quality football the next three weeks they will go 6-3

Brandon Pierce

Each game we are getting better and our Defense is just as strong as they were the first game. It is only a matter of time for the Offense to open up and showcase all the young talent on the team. Not to mention every team left has struggles with stopping offenses. Our D will shut down their runs.

Robert Lloyd

I'm a Nebraskan

Doug Einsel

3-4 more wins

Steve Stutzman

Team is getting stronger as the year progresses.

Thomas Wright

C'mon...Northwestern / Purdue / Maryland, Iowa ALL @ home = 7 wins !! Right ? We should beat ALL of them, right ? I like Kool-Aid, but Tony White has got our boys heading in the right direction for a nice change, even though we need a pass rusher they've been solid & I believe will get better.

Bob Flanagan

The defense will have to carry us, and the young receivers are gonna have to step up big time. Satterfield may have to think long and hard about throwing to run vs running to throw ... we shall see, but ZI think they'll go at least 6-6 maybe 7-5

Dale Paulsen

We can run the ball!

Richard Stotts

gbr

James Key

We will know more Saturday night. We need to go 3-0 over next 3 weeks. GBR

Don Schendt

Remaining schedule should allow NU to win 3 more games, especially the next 3. NU could even win them all.

Regan Zeller

They have a better attitude now. They know they need to work to win and when something does not go their way they do not put their heads down and think back to last year.

Mark C. Brigham

We will continue to gain confidence as we win!

Agron Leopold

The west is weak and the crossovers look very winnable after seeing Illinois beat Maryland. We will get to 6 and may even be in the hunt in the west

James McDermott

The remaing six games are all winnable

William Snesrud

Because five of the final six games are very winnable

No Passing attack and to many errors.

michael daly

offense is not coming together. injuries and less than stellar coaching on that side. o line and receivers and qb

Jon Petersen

I think they'd be able to get to something like 7-5 if they still had some offensive weapons. But the lack of receivers and backs is going to make it difficult. If they do get to a bowl, it will be due to the defense.
